This sculpture is called "Backwards Attitude". It is in the National Arboretum Canberra and according the sculptor, Louis Pratt, it's a political statement...the man is bent over in a ridiculous position but is defiant and stubborn...hence the backwards attitude.
I am a retired historian, archivist, curator and heraldry officer living in Australia. My love of history is centred around military, maritime, medicine and social...
That's a powerful statement! And I really like the way you've caught that power with the viewpoint you chose. The hard lighting really punches the message out here.
@fluidsculpture Thanks Paul. I struggled with the light, just the time of day I happened to be there but I'm happy that the lighting enhances the story.
